The Formula

Epley: 1RM = weight × (1 + reps ÷ 30); Brzycki: 1RM = weight × 36 ÷ (37 − reps)

Understanding the One Rep Max (1RM) Calculator

Worked example: Lifting 100 kg (220.5 lb) for five repetitions gives Epley 116.67 kg and Brzycki 112.5 kg; their average is 114.58 kg (252.6 lb).

Prediction accuracy varies with exercise, fatigue and repetition count. The 85% result is a mathematical comparison, not an instruction to attempt an unfamiliar load.
